All readmission requests are handled on a case-by-case basis, but we encourage anyone to apply! After you apply, the treatment team will review the circumstances of your last stay and determine your eligibility for readmission.

We believe it is vitally important that you focus on your own recovery while in treatment. Having your significant other at the same location would likely become an obstacle to personal focus and growth. For that reason, we currently do not admit couples to the same facility. However, it is possible to enter treatment at the same time at different facilities. We even have two facilities in Elizabethtown so that you could potentially obtain treatment simultaneously in the same city.

One of our core beliefs is that recovery is better together! Clients staying at our 30-day residential treatment centerswill stay in shared rooms, similar to dorm living. We’ve learned from experience that people cannot recover in isolation. By sharing spaces, you’ll become part of a community learning together and supporting each other in recovery.

Stepworks accepts both women and men as clients at many of our locations, but we also have single-gender facilities, including a women’s center in Nicholasville and a men’s center in London, KY. At our mixed-gender facilities, dorm/sleeping areas are separated by gender.

Our medical director has developed alcohol and opiate detoxprotocols that rival many hospital-based detox environments. While we cannot remove all the discomfort of detox, the variety of medications we use can make it much more comfortable than you could imagine. We do not use methadone. We use buprenorphine/naloxone for clients whose detox requires it. This allows clients to focus and remain in treatment.

All facilities have exercise space and some have basketball and volleyball courts. Light physical exercise/activity is incorporated into our daily schedule and all clients are encouraged to participate.

Clients are required to participate in groups unless our medical professionals determine otherwise. Group participation is an incredibly important aspect of our addiction treatment program. During these meetings you’ll learn important concepts and coping mechanisms and process the difficult thoughts and emotions behind your addiction.

Yes, each week clients are given an opportunity to make phone calls to friends and family members. Clients cannot receive unscheduled phone calls throughout the day but must arrange to communicate during arranged phone times.

Yes, we do allow patients to smoke cigarettes during break times throughout the day. Cigarettes brought into the facility must be in unopened packages at the time of admission. Electronic cigarettes are prohibited in our residential treatment facilities.
